  • We have no idea if Obama is on the list because we don’t have the list. We pretty much know that Trump is on it, and someone like Bill Clinton is also very likely on there, but Bush Jr, Obama, and Biden could all also be on that list but we just don’t know. It’s a list of very powerful people, and anybody who has held the office of the presidency is a suspect as far as I’m concerned.






  • Obviously, Mexico is a big diverse country so you’re going to find good areas and bad areas. However, we’re talking about the state of the nation as a whole.

    It’s not really a secret how the cartels get their weapons. America is the world’s biggest arms manufacturer and exporter, and it’s the country with the highest amount civilian owned guns per capita in the world. It doesn’t really take much for a bunch massive crime syndicates to organize smuggling operations to bring guns across the border. Mexico’s strict guns laws are supposed to be there to prevent this from happening, but they’re not. The same goes for the money, again they’re crime cartels selling things that are illegal, though now they’re controlling actual industries too, but that’s besides the point.

    Nobody is responsible for the cartels besides Mexico. They popped organically inside the country, they grew inside the country, and they still operate inside the country. The Mexican government knows who they are and what they do, but they’re choosing to look the other way. Shifting blame is just a dishonest way to avoid putting pressure on the only party that can do anything about these cartels, and that’s the Mexican government.




  • I feel like your issue is that you’re not probably giving yourself space.

    Being active is good, it’s healthy. However, that’s not what you need. What you need is a break. You need a break from politics and social media. You need to have a complete reset mentally, and the way to do that is to shut off all the noise and spend at least a month living your life without any social media. Like actually take the steps to block all the social media apps/sites for all your devices. That means no Lemmy, no Reddit, no Discord, no Instagram, no Facebook, nothing.

    You also need to talk with your girlfriend and tell her to stop talking about politics with you full stop, perhaps this would be good for her as well, but I digress. You need to explain to her as well as understand yourself that this is a serious boundary that you need to have for your well being. You’re aware that doomscrolling and social media are bad for you, however, you need to take action to give yourself the break that you need.


  • I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone’s speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don’t have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They’re a special of asshole.
